Dublin music therapy service will have free workshop for people with Parkinson's

A Dublin-based music therapy service will have a free workshop for those affected by Parkinson's disease, ahead of Parkinson’s Awareness Day next Tuesday.

Neurolinks Music Therapy are collaborating with Ireland’s largest Parkinson’s charity Move4Parkinson’s, who are organising a free workshop from 2-5pm on Friday April 28 in Killiney. Attendees will get the chance to experience some of the techniques they commonly use at the service.

Leading Neurological Music Therapist Dr Shane Cassidy told Dublin Live their service helps people with Parkinson's on several levels - psychological, informational, as well as with their speech and mobility issues. He said: "A lot of people have become very isolated as a result of this diagnosis, which is horrendous, because of mobility issues."
